Swan Filters...

What is the point in these filters? I don't know if it it just me or not, but i smoke because of the addiction obviously but i also like the harsh hit at the back of your throat as you take a drag...

All these filters do, is stop that... and they make life that little tiny bit harder when rolling...

They taste a little nicer than with the plain filters.

I use the menthol ones, om nom. The first few out of a fresh packet of them are as minty as a very minty thing indeed.

I like the way the smooth ones rattle when you shake them though.

Yeh like maracas... It's annoying and useless...

I just use normal ultra-slim ones.

Filters are hard to roll with... if you're a noob.

I bought some of these ages ago and thought they were crap. Just rolled my first roly in ages as I don't have any ciggies, and yes they are still crap.

I HATE those filters. Anything other than Swan Extra Slim/Rizla Ultra Slim make me rage. The paper crap around them just make them annoyingly difficult to roll.

I guess it would be the same as smoking marlboro lights etc.

It's not. It's like smoking a normal cigarette, the filters don't change the taste all that much for me, but they do:

a) make the cigarette easier to roll
b) make it easier to smoke
c) stop my lips tasting of tobacco
d) make it taste nicer, probably because I don't have manky tobacco on my lips

I don't use the plain or smooth ones that often though I only buy the menthol ones given the choice, which is odd because I don't think much of menthol cigarettes, only rollies. Odd.

They're horrible. Pain to get out of the tube, pain to roll with, and I always find tiny bits of charcoal in my mouth. Wind me up no end.

...Suffice to say I got them once when my local shop was out of the regular ultra-slim ones, and won't be buying again

Bah, who uses filters. Or roaches for that matter!

They're complete rubbish, they make the smoke taste bad, more difficult to roll with, more difficult to get out of the plastic wrapping thing and usually end up being crushed. I bought some once as it was the only ones a shop had left, never again.
Slims are too fat, you waste a huge amount of bacci using slims.

Swan extra slim are the only ones worth using.
